BLYTH, William Davidson OBE
1912 - 2012
William
Davidson Blyth, passed peacefully away on March 12, 2012, just a month short of
his 100th birthday. He had resided at the Perley Rideau Veterans' Health Center
in Ottawa for nearly eight of his last years. Bill's parents chose to have him
born in Scotland, but in 1914 at the age of two he and his mother made the long
trip back to Canada and travelled overland to join his father in Winnipeg. While
he never outgrew his Scottish heritage, Bill was a Canadian. He was raised in
Winnipeg, graduating from Kelvin High School and joining the St Paul Fire and
Marine Insurance Co as a junior clerk in 1930. During the 30's he spent a good
deal of time conducting and playing trumpet in a dance band. He married Maryel
"Fluff" Thomson, and had three daughters: Rosemary, Barbara and
Stephanie.
Bill's military career began when he enlisted in the Lord Strathcona's Horse
Cadets at the age of 12. In 1939, he was commissioned as a lieutenant in the
Royal Canadian Ordnance Corps, rising to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in 1944.
He was overseas from 1941 to 1946, serving in Britain, Africa, Italy and the
Netherlands. He was awarded the OBE for his outstanding service during the
Italian campaign. After the war he served in the Reserves, acting as Honorary
Lieutenant- Colonel of the 4th Ordnance Battalion, RCOC, from 1963 to 1968.
When he returned to civilian life after the war, Bill went back to work at the
St. Paul. He was transferred to the Toronto office, where he held a variety of
management positions in the Canadian Head Office before his retirement in 1977.
He was an avid sportsman: a hunter, fisherman, golfer and curler, with
certificates for a hole in one and an eight end in curling. He was also a
consummate handyman, repairman, furniture builder and problem solver.
After his wife's death, he moved to Ottawa in 2001 to be near his family. During
his stay at the Perley Rideau he took up painting and pottery; his creative
talents blossomed, culminating with a show of his art work at the Perley's MET
Gallery. The outstanding care Bill received at the PRVHC provided him with
fulfilling and satisfying final years. He is survived by his daughters Rosemary
Covert, Barbara Maxwell and Stephanie Oxley, sons- in-law Jim Covert, Bill
Maxwell and Jamie Oxley, and grandchildren Jennifer and Andrew Covert, and David
and Matthew Oxley. The funeral will be held at 4 pm on Monday, March 19, in
Lupton Hall at the Perley and Rideau Veterans' Health Centre. In lieu of
flowers, donations may be made to the Perley and Rideau Veterans' Health Center
Foundation for the Creative Arts Program, 1750 Russell Road, Ottawa, ON K1G 5Z6.

sadly missed by his beloved wife, Margarita Mancera Tweedy (nee Canedo), and
their daughter, Byrona Sophia Michelle Tweedy, both of Sooke. He also leaves a
son, Doctor Christopher Charles Peachell McClure of Florida, USA and

MULLIN Harold Alexander
1915 - 2010
MULLIN,
Harold Alexander Hinchcliffe - It is with sadness that we announce the peaceful
passing of Alex Mullin in his 96th year at the Longworth Long Term Care facility
in London, Ontario on Saturday, December 18, 2010. He is survived by his beloved
wife of 65 years, Sylvia Yvonne (nee Lovelock), his brother Robert, daughter
Bettina Domander (Gunnar), sons Roger (Diane), Timothy (Suzanne), Mark (Gerri)
and Paul (Rose Marie). He will be greatly missed by his grandchildren Sarah,
Erik, Anne, Andrew, Nicola, Connor, Frederique and Anas. He was predeceased by
his parents, two brothers - John and David - and by grandson, Sean. The first of
four sons, Alex was born November 14, 1915 in Toronto to the Reverend Alexander
Mullin and his wife Gertrude Brown. He was a graduate of the University of
Toronto Schools where he excelled in basketball and swimming, as well as
academics. In 1936 he obtained a Bachelor of Commerce at the University of
Toronto where he also represented the university in basketball, tennis and
squash. The latter became a lifelong passion that he would pursue well into his
sixties. His many other interests included: music (he was an accomplished
pianist); computing; stamp and coin collecting; his hobby farm near Durham,
Ontario; a villa in Barbados; and, following the lead of his four boys, a brief
fling late in life with fullbore target rifle shooting, which culminated in
participating with them in the Silver Jubilee Meeting at Bisley, England, in
1977. If pressed, he would claim his chief interests in life were the
accomplishments and activities of his family. He was modest, quiet, thoughtful,
unassuming and non- materialistic - very much a loving, while reserved, man.
After university and immediately prior to the Second World War, Alex completed
his Chartered Accountant certification, joining the firm of Ernst and Ernst in
Toronto. In 1954 he co-founded the successful chartered accountancy firm
Hutchins, Mullin and Blair, which exists today under the name Prentice, Yates
and Clark. Alex was well respected for his high professional standards and
integrity, especially in the fields of bankruptcy trusteeship and auditing. He
was proud of his accomplishments in business, the firm he helped found, and
especially the students he mentored, three of whom Gord Prentice, John
Yates, and Ron Clark - went on to continue his firm. He became a Life Member of
the Institute of Chartered Accountants in 1985 and consistently maintained his
interest in the field until his death. In 1942, along with two of-age brothers,
Alex volunteered for the Canadian forces, joining the Royal Canadian Ordnance
Corps as 2nd Lieutenant. He then volunteered for and was loaned to the British
8th Army as an officer through the CanLoan program, seeing service in the United
Kingdom, where he met his future wife, and in the Italian campaign, ending the
war in Austria with the rank of Captain. Despite being a pacifist by nature,
Alex carried out his duty as a soldier, which must have been extraordinarily
difficult for him. Duty became his middle name and a central part of his message
to his five children. He was discharged from the army and returned to Canada a
married man to resume his professional career in Toronto. Alex and Sylvia
enjoyed a remarkably long and active retirement. They closely followed the
activities of their family and pursued extensive travel around the world well
into their eighties. They rarely left one anothers side. In keeping with Alex's
wishes, a private family memorial and celebration of his life will be held later
in the spring. In lieu of flowers, contributions to the charity of your choice
would be much appreciated.

Scotia. He joined the Canadian Army in 1942 and served overseas with both the
Royal Canadian Ordnance Corps and the Royal Canadian Electrical and Mechanical
Engineers. Demobilized in 1946, he entered University College at the University
of Toronto where he met Elizabeth Rogers from Calgary. After graduating in 1949,
he followed Elizabeth to Alberta and spent the summer working in the Leduc
oilfields and hitchhiking to Calgary. That fall he entered Law School at the
University of Alberta and in 1950 re-joined the Army in the Canadian Officer
Training Corps. Ralph spent the summer of 1950 training at Longue Pointe in
Montreal. Stranded by a railway strike, he cadged the first of many unofficial
air force "training flights" to make it back to Calgary in time to
marry Elizabeth. Commissioned in 1951, Ralph graduated from Law School a year
later and joined the Regular Force, once again in the Ordnance Corps. After
serving in Vancouver and back in Edmonton, he was called to the Alberta Bar in

thirty years of service as a legal officer took him to Ottawa, Winnipeg,
Calgary, Lahr and finally back to Ottawa. Along the way, he was a minor hockey

was the two years he spent as president of the Canadian Forces Europe senior
hockey league. By 1988, when he retired at the age of 65, Ralph was the oldest
member and last Second World War veteran serving in the Regular Force. He then
began his second career, serving another ten years as a civilian in the
Department of National Defence. In 1997, after a loving 47-year partnership,
Ralph lost Elizabeth, and with her a large part of himself, following her 11
year struggle with cancer. Ralph was never happier than when with his family and
friends, and was always eager to lend a helping hand. He loved meeting and
getting to know new people, and sharing his own tales and the pride he took in
the accomplishments of his children and grandchildren. He is survived by his
sons John (Judy) of Calgary, Robert (Claire) of Ottawa, and Murray (Barbara
Hedman) of Navan, and his grandchildren Lindsay (Lawrence) and Robert (Valerie)

wartime RAForces) with an otherwise all-British crew on a RNZAF bomber when he
was shot down over Germany, the only man on the plane to survive, but losing his
hearing almost completely in the process. After a harrowing, unhearing attempt
to escape by land, he spent the rest of the war as a POW, ending up at Stalag
Luft III, the scene of the famous Great Escape." How deeply scarring these
events were upon the rest of his life can only be guessed. Coming home, he
married Brenda Smith of Victoria, with whom he had three daughters. Educated at
Vic College, UBC, and Toronto, Gordie remustered into the Ordnance Corps and
served in Japan during the Korean War and on bases across Canada. In spite of
sometimes very significant health problems, he remained a natural athlete
throughout his life; he was a respected (and feared) rugby player in his youth,
an energetic baseball pitcher, and the skip of several curling teams throughout
the years. He lived boldly and had a taste for corny jokes of the worst kind. He
was an award winning painter in a variety of media. Gordie retired with the rank
of Major in Ottawa. He returned to Victoria in 2003, living first at Parkwood
Manor and then at the Lodge at Broadmead. His last years were darkened by
dementia but he maintained his sense of humour and his curiosity about most
things. Gordie is survived by his sister Faith in Ontario and his brother
Malcolm in Switzerland; his daughters Elizabeth, Barbara, and Jane; his
grandsons Brian, Sean, Jeff, and Andrew; and his greatgrandchildren Emily,
McKechnie, Natalie, and Callum. Gordie outlived his wives Brenda and Terry, and
his grandson Matthew.

Peter Lychuk
1931 - 2009
It
is with great sadness that the family of Peter Lychuk of Swan River, Manitoba,
announces his passing on May 15, 2009 at the Swan Valley Health Centre.
Peter was born on March 20, 1931 in Hyas, Saskatchewan to Walter and Lena Lychuk. The family later moved to the Harlington District where Peter then pursued more schooling.
Later he worked for local farmers and then he went down east to his aunt and uncle's where he worked in the bush with his cousins.
At the age of 19 he and his buddy decided to go to Vancouver, British Columbia, on a motor bike to seek employment. Peter ended up joining The Royal Canadian Armed Forces.
In June of 1956, while being stationed in Regina, Saskatchewan, he met and married Eileen Domes. Together they had three daughters and one son, Shelley Ann, Laurel Lee, Gregory Peter and Twyla Janine.
His military career took him and his family from the West Coast to the East Coast. He was sent to Germany twice and while stationed in Ottawa, two years and six months of that time he was sent to Egypt.
Upon retiring from the Forces as a Master Warrant Officer he decided to move back to Manitoba to be nearer to his family. His brother, Stan, helped him locate a quarter section of land which began his farming career.
After twenty-eight years, due to his health deteriorating, he sold his farm to his good renter and friend, Wayne, and moved into Swan River in October of 2008.
During his early years of farming he also worked at the Swan Valley Regional Secondary School as a custodian for six years and then with the provincial government on the maintenance staff for four years.
Pete enjoyed quadding around his farm area, wildlife hunting, keeping his beaver population down and feeding the deer that loved his farm area and gardening efforts. Pete enjoyed driving his new cars and trucks which were always in immaculate condition. He also enjoyed sports such as curling in his early years, golfing locally as well as with his friend Fred in Winnipeg, Manitoba, where he visited often.
Travelling was a plus. Many trips were taken to the States and throughout Canada to places such as Yellowknife, Alaska, the Yukon and east to Newfoundland. Some of the trips included family in British Columbia and Alberta.
He adored his grandchildren, Khloe, Jesse, Cody, Holly and Twyla's family; Brett, Saegan and Justin. Together they did a fair amount of camping, quadding, and target shooting. You name it, they did it! He took great pleasure in introducing them to the wonders of the world. Every spring break a trip was planned to go somewhere.
So many treasured memories, we sure will miss you. ~Eileen and family~ Peter leaves to mourn his wife Eileen; children, Laurel Lychuk of Courtenay, British Columbia, Greg (Wanda) Lychuk of Calgary, Alberta, Twyla
(Jack) McKay of Swan River; grandchildren, Khloe, Jesse, Cody, Holly, Brett, Saegan and Justin; brothers and sisters, Jossie Bossey of Canora,
Saskatchewan, Rose Filipowich of Swan River, Stanley (Mary) Lychuk of
Kenville, Manitoba, Stephanie (Bill) Macooh of Benito, Manitoba, Lavina Lychuk of Kelowna, British Columbia; brother and sisters-in-law; Adeline Lychuk of Kenville, Randy Domes of Oliver, British Columbia, Dick Gaube of Regina Beach, Saskatchewan, Joyce (Lawrence) Hala of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Phyllis Berg of Bellevue Washington, U.S.A, Sharon (Jim) Babcock of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and many close friends.
Peter was predeceased by daughter, Shelley Lychuk; parents, Walter and Lena Lychuk; brothers, John and Paul Lychuk; sister Anne Rubletz; brothers-in-law Joe Bossey, Steve Rublets, Bill Caryk, John Filipowich, Jack Domes, and Bill Berg; sisters-in-law, Vangie Domes, Ruth Gaube and Tina Domes.
Should friends so desire, memorial donations in Peter's honour may be made to the Canadian Cancer society.
Funeral services were held on Wednesday, May 20, 2009 at 2 p.m. at Trinity Lutheran Church, Swan River, Manitoba. Pastor Bob Lewis officiated.

Moffatt, James Reginald Robb
1931-2007
A full life, well-lived
Jim started his journey on July 7th, 1931, in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan.
Parents Reg and Vi with sisters Phyllis Craib and Wilma Patrick moved to
Vancouver when Jim was five. He joined the Canadian Army as a tall, handsome,
charismatic, and athletic 17 year old who ran track, played football and
basketball, and boxed. After basic training in Montreal and time in Whitehorse
he was transferred back to Vancouver. It was there that he met his future wife
of 55 years, Mae McVicar, at a ski outing of Y Trails on Seymour Mountain.
He was posted to Germany but was able to arrange a transfer to England so that
he could marry Mae on May 17, 1952. They explored Europe by car with friends.
Their son Robb Moffatt was born in England in 1953. Jim piloted sailplanes and
pole vaulted in his spare time.
The family settled in North Vancouver in 1955 and a daughter, Denyse Holme
(Steve), was born in 1956, and a son, Don B.Sc., in 1963. Jim was an active
baseball player on the Army team and would fish whenever he could. He coached
minor baseball and football. He was an active member of Scouting in North
Vancouver, serving as Akala for both Cubs and Scouts. He also served on the
Scouting District Council in North Vancouver.
The Army transfered Jim to Ottawa in 1965 where Jim volunteered as Deputy
Commissioner of Scouting Canada. He was very proud of son Robb becoming a
Queen's Scout. Jim had the honour of leading the Ottawa troop to the World
Jamboree in 1967 at Boise, Idaho.
The family moved to Nanaimo in 1968 after he retired as a Warrant Officer with
twenty years of service, where Jim joined his father in the insurance business
as promised to his mother. He was successful and prided himself on doing what
was right for his clients. He umpired minor baseball but saw a need to get
involved in providing more recreation for the young people of Nanaimo. He ran
for regional district board member in 1974 and was then elected as an alderman
in the first council of the amalgamated city in 1975. He was elected to city
council three more times. He worked hard to have the Beban Park Recreational
Centre and a new police station built. He greeted Queen Elizabeth, Prince
Philip, Princess Diana, and Prince Charles as a representative of the city and
was a member of a delegation to Japan. The trip to Japan was an experience that
thrilled him and which he spoke of for the rest of his life.
Jim held memberships with Toastmasters, Kiwanis, ACT, the Legion, Whitecap
Fishing Club, Probus, the Chamber of Commerce, the Tourism Board, and Rotary,
and volunteered in innumerable other ways.
From 1977 to 1990 he served on Nanaimo streets as an Auxiliary member of the
RCMP, a fulfillment of one of his dreams. He worked to improve the training of
reserve members in the province, and won many shooting contests.
His family was deeply important to him and he was blessed with three
grandchildren: Andrea Moffatt B.A. B.Ed. in 1983, James Moffatt in 1985, and
Adam Holme in 1995. He loved all children and amused them whenever an
opportunity arose. His children and grandchildren remember how he would
frequently play with them, often to the point of exhausting himself. He taught
them to ski, golf, fish and shoot pool, and took the family on camping trips. He
loved nature and sharing the outdoor lifestyle of the Island. Jim and Mae
enjoyed many wonderful trips together, some with their children but many just as
a couple.
Jim was a skilled golfer but his recreation of choice was fishing. He started as
a child on family trips to Campbell River, then Vancouver and Nanaimo waters,
and later the Bamfield area where he shared a float cabin with friends. His
fondest memories were his many trips to the Queen Charlottes, solo and with his
sister Wilma and son Don. He remained close to his beloved sisters in later life
and loved his nieces, Judy and Lorraine, and nephews Gary, Ian, Kevin, Mike,
Shawn, and Jay.
Jim deeply valued his friends and often spoke fondly of them to his family. The
passing of many of them in later years was very hard on him. His surviving
family and friends will miss his sense of humour and lighthearted attitude most
of all. He never lost his boyish quality. The family remembers that holiday
dinners were always full of side-splitting laughter. His attitude towards life
was that you should act with integrity and contribute but take time to have fun
now, because you never know when the end will come. After a belly laugh from his
hospital bed courtesy of his friend Dominic he commented "You gotta have fun".
Jim was afflicted with failing health in the last eleven years of his life,
first with arythmia, then Alzheimer's and finally prostate cancer. He fought
each illness valiantly and squeezed what he could out of life. His son Don
recalls him playfully taking a dangerous shortcut that ended his skiing career
with a spectacular wipeout and remarked at the time "You're 70 going on 17". Jim
refused to be old.
The light and love of his life was his wife, Mae, who visited him every day in
the hospital from July 24th to his passing on December 14th. He often
said to his children that he didn't know what he did to deserve her but figured
it was "dumb luck". Her visits were the only thing that brought him contentment
in his final months. He passed gently while holding her hand and looking into
her eyes, while grandson James held the hands of both grandparents, and family
friend Audrey looked on.
The family wishes to express their thanks to Drs. Babuin and Bradley, and
especially to the nurses on the 4th and 5th floor, particularly Esther and Ruth
for their work and compassion during his final hours. They also wish to thank
those who heard of his illness and visited, and thank his friends for the many
condolences already received.
A celebration of Jim's life will be held at 1
p.m. on Saturday, January 26th at the Bowen Park Complex, where we hope there
will be as much laughter as tears. Jim wanted people to make donations to a
charity of their choice in lieu of flowers.

by son-in-law Terry Rennie of London, Ontario. Loving grandfather of 13
grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren. John was born in Halifax in 1924

Gerald (1989), Mildred (1968), Donald (2003), Helen, Mary, William,
Kathleen, Kenneth (1943), Francis (1942), Marion, Theresa, Richard and David.
John served in the Canadian military (Royal Canadian Ordnance Corp) from June
1944 until November 1968. He was a member of the Canadian army throughout their
campaign in The Netherlands helping to free the Dutch from the German occupation
and also was a part of the military occupation force in Germany at war's end. He
was also a member of the United Nations forces that were forced to leave
the Gaza strip just prior to the conflict of 1967. After completing his military
service John went to work for the University of Western Ontario in London,
Ontario where he developed another set of life long friends many of which shared
his love for the game of golf. A sport lover his sporting accomplishments were
eclipsed the day he managed to pull off golf's greatest feat, a hole in one and
the trophy sits on his bookshelf to this day. Although short of stature
John was a force to be reckoned with whenever he umpired a baseball game and his
strike calls were something to behold and legendary. John was very proud
to have served in the military during WWII and was pleased to participate in the
celebrations in the Netherlands in 1995, 2000 and 2005. The gratitude that
the Dutch displayed for the sacrifice of a generation of young Canadians left
